As the holiday of Sukkot upon us, host Aaron “The Schmoz” Herman spoke with a vendor to find out more about the shortage of Lulavim this year due to the instability in Egypt and many other Lulavim being stuck in customs this year.
Aaron then discussed the vast differences in prices for Etrogs, and found out what makes an Etrog more or less valuable.
Guest, Rabbi Chaim Shapiro walked him through the different components that affects the beauty and kashrut of an etrog.
